Chapter 242: The Thousand Sues River
was stunned for a moment, and replied truthfully!"That Pa Hang, the temporary female bartender of the Great Sacrifice is afraid of some ancient seals, and no one can recognize them, and she has to ask her to find someone to help slowly break the Ze, what, do you know the ancient seals?"
After asking, Liang Xin shook his head with a smile again, of course the fire civet rat didn't know the ancient seal, at least he didn't recognize the inscription on the negative tablet.
Sure enough, the fire civet rat shook his head: "I can't do anything about the ancient seal, but the circles on the veil sound a little interesting." ”
Liang Xin and Qu Qingshi glanced at each other, and the brothers were interested, and asked in unison, "What do you say?"
The fire civet rat didn't dare to slack off, and muttered slightly for a moment, and then slowly spoke: Liang Ye said just now that the square handkerchief was full of countless circles, which reminded me of a "Thousand Whiskers River Map" that I had learned before. !”
Liang Xin and the others looked at each other, they outsiders couldn't understand what the Thousand Whiskers River Diagram was, but among the disciples of the Li family, these four words were very famous.
About 200 years ago, a thousand-year-old handscroll was unearthed, the handscroll came from the ancient masters, during which a number of lost machine designs were recorded, this treasure was tossed several times, and finally was obtained by the Li family.
The Li family is the No. 1 organ family in Tianzi, although the drawings on the handscroll are all lost ancient skills, but with their attainments, basically as long as you look at the picture, you can understand the key, but only the last picture, the Li family many masters and craftsmen are confused.
Speaking of this, the fire civet rat didn't know whether it was intentional or habitual, paused for a moment, picked up a teacup and began to drink, "
Zheng Xiaoxiaodao has a lively temperament, and he has been with the fire civet rat for a long time, so he has long been familiar with each other, and immediately shook his head and smiled: "It turns out that you will also sell Guanzi?" Since you have sold it, I will guess that in the end, this machine bracket drawing that no one in your family can understand, is the same as the handkerchief found by Liang Midao, and it is full of circles!"
Lang Ye shook his head and smiled: "If they are all circles, how can they be called, Thousand Whiskers River Map, it should be called "Thousand Circles Map, right!"
Zheng Xiaodao sighed and nodded: "It's also true."
The fire civet mouse laughed, put down the teacup, and continued to tell the story: "The ancestors of the Li family have been immersed in the way of the mechanism for generations, no matter how complicated and unbelievable the drawings are, we can also see a rough idea, even if we can't figure out the principle for a while, but we won't be too surprised." The reason why the last picture on this scroll will confuse the elders of my family is that "it is not a mechanical drawing at all, but a landscape painting."
After a pause, the civet rat added: "Drawing a treasure map of mountains and rivers!"
A handscroll that records the design of the mechanism, but at the end of it is a treasure map.
The diagram depicts a vein of water with its tributaries intersecting in a chaotic manner, and at first glance, it looks like a long-whiskered ginseng, which is why the diagram is called the "Gansu River Diagram."
In addition, there is a line of small print on the map: according to the map, priceless treasure.
The text before the dry year is not much different from the current Chinese characters, as long as people who know a little bit of literature and ink can read it, of course, they don't want to dip it in the stone tablet "Fire-tailed Heavenly Ape, Virtue and Art Shuangxin." So illegible.
Hearing the words "priceless treasure, these four words, all the people in the room were interested, and even Xiaoxi's eyes showed a little bit of Minghao who was focused on.
Lang Jun was even more excited when he heard it. He smiled and asked, "So, this picture of the Thousand Sugh River is a treasure map?" Have you found the treasure?" As he spoke, his little face was full of eagerness, and he said, "If you don't find it, hand it over, and if you find it, hand over the treasure."
Liang Xin knew better than anyone what kind of person the demon girl was, and immediately coughed as a warning.
Lang Na's smile turned into grievance in a blink of an eye. His voice was much lower, and he muttered a little hoarsely: "If the fire civet rat dares to say this, he won't be afraid that I will worry about it." Besides, although they are only mortal families, with their concubinage skills, they are not something that I can deal with as a four-step monk. ”
Liang Xin had long been accustomed to her appearance, and pouted and smiled: "Anyway, don't worry about your own people's things." ”
Lang Nuo pursed his lips: "I am my own person with you, and I am not my own person with the Li family." ”
Liang Xin blinked his eyes, had nothing to say, and turned his head to look at the civet rat: "Later, the Li family went to hunt for treasures?"
The fire civet rat nodded and smiled: "On that hand scroll, the front is full of genuine powerful mechanisms, and such a picture came out at the end." It shouldn't be a prank, of course my family has to look for that priceless treasure, but it's not easy to find it!"
Liang Xin raised his eyebrows and said strangely: "Isn't there a picture to guide you, what else is not easy?"
"It's true that there is a picture, but the picture is drawn on a set of messy water veins, except for the eight-character annotation, there is no half-explained annotation in Cantonese characters, although everyone knows that it is a vice treasure map, but how to look at it, the things drawn on it are more like a radish with full beards and tails."
Since ancient times, Middle-earth has a strong atmosphere of cultivating truth, and there are monks flying around in the sky at all times. Some people can fly, terrain mapping is much simpler, as small as the map of the state capital, as large as the map of the Middle Earth, it has long flowed into the mortal world, although it is valuable, but with the strength of the organ, it can also be obtained.
After getting the Chisu River map, the first thing to do. It is to identify the water veins depicted in the picture.
The masters of the Li family found a variety of water vein maps, some of them deliberately spent a lot of money to order, after several twists and turns, they finally completed the first step, and determined that the water veins in the Qianxu River map do exist, and the confidence of the Li family was greatly boosted.
The "Thousand Whisker Belt" is equipped with a capable younger brother, who is responsible for interpreting the map
The old past, now it sounds simple, but in fact, it is not easy to find treasure, compared with the famous river, although the scale of the water vein is not too large, but it has also stepped hundreds of miles. The tributaries are interspersed and intersect with each other, and there are no other labels on the map. Who knows where the baby will hide.
Lang Na stuck out his tongue and said casually: "The next time I go to sea, I will throw two taels of silver into the sea, and then get a pair of charts." Also marked, according to the map of the flag, there is a treasure here "used to pass on." ”
Including the fire civet rat, everyone laughed, although what the demon girl said was exaggerated, but the treasure hunt two hundred years ago was indeed like what Lang Nuo said at the beginning, and there was no direction to follow.
In the first twenty years, the Li family's Qianxutang aimlessly dialed and searched along the water veins, but naturally the baby was not found, but many of them practiced swimming,"
Twenty years, an entire generation of hard work but in vain, was sent to the backbone of the Thousand Sudo that year. Gradually, he was taken away and assigned other errands.,The treasure hunt thing is slowly embraced.,Only some disciples who have little experience and are not valued in the door.,Still barely maintaining the operation of the Thousand Sudo.。 One. Bath... 8。 A different experience!
This situation is until the first one, the disciple of the Thousand Sudo Hall. At the end of a tributary in a vein of water. It was only after the accident that the hidden mechanism was touched that there was a turnaround. Of course, the disciple who touched the mechanism lost his life at that time, and in total, he traded his life for an opportunity.
Yilie found the mechanism, and most of the mechanism was a priceless treasure after that, and the new clues made the Li family pay attention to Qianxutang again, and a large number of Li masters rushed to the end of the tributary and the place where the mechanism was located, wanting to break through the second level. Loot for the treasure, but right away, new troubles come again.
The so-called mechanism, no matter how complex the design is, no matter how powerful the power is, in the final analysis, it is also a lock, the lock cylinder is the power center, and there is only one way to crack it first: destroy the lock cylinder.
The masters that the Li family drove over definitely represented the highest level of mechanical skills in the world at that time, but they tried their best to play and work hard, and they couldn't open the one in front of them, and the lock "because they couldn't find it at all, the lock cylinder" naturally couldn't be cracked.
If it were other small sects, most of them would find another way, such as digging from a different angle, or simply getting some fire and thunder to blow up. But the Li family itself is a family of organs, firstly, this organ involves a new professional concept, and they will not be willing to crack it anyway; secondly, they know better than those "non-professionals" that such an organ will hide a self-destructive design, and the only result of violent rushing is that nothing will be found.
After a while, this mechanism could not be cracked, and just when many masters were at a loss, news came from the Sensu Hall: they had also found hidden mechanisms at the end of several other tributaries of this set of waters.
Under the investigation, the newly discovered mechanism. In terms of design, it is the same as the first mechanism, and there is no "lock cylinder" that cannot be cracked.
All-in-one. More and more mechanisms have been discovered, but the way to crack them has never been found, and the people of the Li family have been immersed in this way for generations, of course, it is not in vain. Some clues can be seen: these mechanisms only have "locks." But no, the core "However, the lock cylinder is inevitable, so will it be such a situation:
"The lock cylinder, and the lock, are separate.
"This is like what Liang Ye mentioned before, the crossbow mechanism in front of the Kunai Mountain Division. This kind of mechanism is very powerful, but basically, it is pulled by copper wire, twisting the crossbow arrows that have been placed in advance, plus some steps for winding and continuing the arrows, the design is not too strange, but it is more complicated. "But I'm afraid that everyone won't understand. gave an example: "The crossbow arrow in front of the division is activated by the center of the division, the crossbow arrow is the lock, and the center is where the lock cylinder is located." ”
Seeing everyone nodding, the fire civet rat continued: "The reason for the separation of the lock and the core proposed by the ancestor of my family is not really the separation of the two, but the expansion!
Although he was asking questions, the fire raccoon rat didn't wait for others to speak, and gave a direct answer: "Naturally, we have activated the mechanism here, and there are crossbow arrows hidden in the forbidden land hundreds of miles away, and once someone steps into the forbidden area, the crossbow arrows will burst out and hurt people." The principle is the same, but if you want the crossbow bolts to be effective hundreds of miles away, the copper wire connecting the lock and the lock cylinder also needs to be hundreds of miles long. ”
This truth is very simple, the fire rat will understand it as soon as it is said, but it is easy to understand, does not represent the feasibility of actual operation, the first is the material, the ten-zhang long copper wire is tough and powerful. However, how to tighten the copper wire hundreds of miles long is a problem; the second is the project, which is used to pull the copper wire of the machine, of course, cannot be placed on the ground generously. It is necessary to dig a trench and break the ground to hide carefully. It is necessary to open up hundreds of miles. to hide the copper wire, and the probability of implementing this trick is basically negligible.
Therefore, many masters of the Li family, when they first came into contact with the strange mechanism, only looked for the "lock cylinder" nearby, and did not think about it in this direction at all.
Even if the possibility is very high, at least there is a new theory, and there is a new direction of research, and Chisudo expands its staff, gets busy again, and opens up the scope to dial the rope, the focus is to go to the source of each tributary of this set of water veins to dial the rope.
The fire civet rat shook his head and sighed: "It is another full thirty years, and all the sources of the water veins in the picture have been pressed.
A total of 377 traps were found. In the end, the source of a water vein finally paid off, and we found the "lock cylinder,!"
Speaking of this, the fire civet rat took another sip of water and pulled back to the topic: "In the past thirty years, the disciples of the Thousand Sushu Hall have followed the map" Of course, the map of the Thousand Sushi River has been enlarged a lot, hanging high in the secret room, and whenever there is a discovery, it will be marked. ”
Lang Na's brain was nimble, and now he had guessed the similarities between the silk pa and the Qiansu River diagram, and asked with a smile: "Your mark on the big map." It's just a circle, right?"
"Yes, every time you find a trap, you will put a circle around it at the corresponding position on the big picture. The fire civet rat nodded and laughed: "And what is especially wonderful is that the large picture is not at all different from the original Qiansu River map in proportion, and it really took some effort to make it, and the elders were afraid that they would draw it, so they covered it with thin silk, the silk is sparse enough to see through the big picture, and those marked circles are all painted on the silk!"
Liang Mo Dao suddenly realized that the Li family had also drawn a lot of circles in order to hunt for treasures. If you take off the silk horse and look at it alone, it really has some similarities with the silk handkerchief they got from the small island of Lianxin.
It's all thousands of circles, into the painting.
"By now, the river map has long been cracked. However, the Thousand Beard Hall was kept for the disciples of the Li family to study and study at any time, and I had taught in the Thousand Beard Hall for three years. The fire civet rat continued: "So when I heard you talk about a handkerchief painted with a round trap, I naturally thought of the map of the Thousand Suhe River, and perhaps the mystery hidden on the handkerchief also has many similarities with the river map, and it is also a huge central drawing of the machine that is far away, so I mentioned that I want to see it." ”
Qu Qingshi squinted his eyes and pondered for a moment, he should have some thoughts in his heart, but he was still the same. He didn't say it, but looked up at Liang Xin: "Third child, what do you think?"
Liang Laosan's face was anxious, and his eyes were firmly fixed on the fire civet rat: "How do you look at it" No matter how you look at it, you have to finish the story first, right?
The fire civet rat laughed silently, and quickly sped up his speech and told his own story.
The map of the Thousand Beards River itself is actually a huge machine that covers hundreds of miles, such a large mechanism, it is already incredible, but after finding the lock cylinder and spending several years of careful research, a group of masters and craftsmen of the Li family were even more stunned.
Know between the lock and the cylinder, no matter how far apart. It will inevitably be connected by some medium, generally speaking, the two are involved by copper wire, however, the Qianxu River Map, covering an area of hundreds of miles, a lock cylinder controls many locks, it is simply a magnificent and extremely precise mechanism array, it is impossible to rely on copper wire to complete.
The fire civet rat snorted, and his tone was full of longing: "Before discovering the lock cylinder, the elders of the family had already begun to guess that since this large array of organs is located in the water, the power it launches, and the medium that connects each other, most of them also rely on the water veins."
Lang Du nodded: "Therefore, although this mechanism array is complicated, it may not be difficult to break, if the water flow is cut off, the connection between the lock cylinder and the lock will be lost, and the small mechanism will also be invalid!"
Unexpectedly, the fire civet rat shook his head: "So the predecessors are superior, and the means are all over the sky! The method you said, someone in my family has already tried, but it didn't work, until everyone put the lock cylinder, after thorough research, I finally understood the truth Although the small mechanism array is located in the water, but the key to connecting the center and many organs, but not only water, but also wind! All the machines in the Qianxu River diagram are double leads, one water, one wind, under the premise that the lock cylinder is intact, if you want to unlock the small mechanism, you must condense the water and small stagnant wind, all of which are indispensable. ”
Only this set of "Thousand Mustaches Time Diagram", the mechanism array, for the disciples of the Li family. It is already a priceless treasure, especially the "lock cylinder, which itself has a set of "borrowing water and wind, the wonderful design" to penetrate this design, and the Li family can use wind and water as a medium to make a large mechanism for 100 miles of remote control!
After breaking the unlocking core. All the mechanisms failed, but there was a treasure behind them: a set of ancient scrolls spanning thousands of years, summarizing the design experience of the masters of the past dynasties, totaling millions of words, were divided into more than 100 episodes, which were properly stored behind each mechanism.
In addition to this, there are also small models that are made into shape. All kinds of ingenious and practical but unbelievable tools are scattered.
With such a set of treasures, it is enough to keep the Li family from standing in Zhongtu for generations without falling!
Liang Xin let out a sigh of relief and shrugged contentedly.
Qu Qingshi smiled: "Liang Laosan." It's time to use your brains, right?"
Liang Xin is not a stupid boy, and in the second half of the story, his mind has already begun to turn on the silk handkerchief. immediately smiled at the second brother and said: "According to the path of the Thousand Whiskers River Diagram, there is really a solution to the mystery on the silk handkerchief!"
As he spoke, Liang Xin's eyes lit up: "Second brother, you say, will our "Thousand Circle Map" also be a treasure map, and under a circle, it is a treasure of heaven and earth."
In the second half of the sentence, Liang Xin was already speechless with laughter.
Qu Qingshi shook his head with a smile: "Maybe it's the deputy town demon spectrum, and there is a deadly scourge hidden under a circle" Saying, the little white face smiled sensitively: "Don't dream yet, let's talk about it, how can you break your thousand circle maps!"
